Jiang Heng asked specifically, and Meng Yan said the same thing, Ji Zhen was a little curious: "Can you not listen to the blood demon, is it really powerful?"

He really didn't feel anything about Chen Shouxu's instructions, and he didn't feel involuntary at all.

At this time, Mengyan was digesting the elixir pills in his stomach, and said to Ji Zhen with a half-knowledge: "I don't understand, anyway, I have a second grandfather who was eaten by the blood demon. He said that he listened to Mengyan's words, and he would die. Hurry up and let it eat."

It happened 80 years ago, but it has been passed down in the Nightmare family for a long time.When Meng Dashun heard it for the first time, he had a feeling of terror.

For this reason, it begged Ji Zhen again, "Zhenzhen, if there is a blood demon who wants to eat me, you have to stop me."

Ji Zhen thought in his heart that if you are so stupid, the blood demon might not be smart either.

"Then do you know why I'm not affected?" Ji Zhen asked Meng Meng.

Meng Dashun was silent for a while, he couldn't just say that he didn't understand the game, he just pretended to say: "I just entered the rivers and lakes, and I haven't dabbled in it yet."

This is stupid.

Ji Zhen poked it down with a finger, and lay down on his own, thinking that he might as well take the time to ask Jiang Chongguang.

After squinting for a while, Ruohua came in from outside against the cold air, rubbed his hands and said, "It's so strange, it's been a while since spring started, and the weather should be warmer, but it's getting colder every day."

Ji Zhen opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and said lazily, "Where did you go?"

Ruohua sat down beside Ji Zhen, with a vague look of fear and sigh: "I went out to have a look just now, and I saw a lot of bones. I only found out after inquiring. It turned out that many bones were dug up in other yards, and the sum of them is still more than [-]." I don't know how many, how many people died in this house."

Ji Zhen thought of Chen Shouxu's devilish appearance, and shook his head. It's not surprising how many times he died. Over the years, who knows how many people the blood demon has killed.

Ruohua said again, "I see that many of those bones are children, the older ones are seven or eight years old, and the younger ones are probably just born."

"You dare to look at it, but I underestimated you." Ji Zhen sat up.

Ruohua smiled shyly.

But when Ruohua said that many of the corpses belonged to children, Ji Zhen also felt terrified.He thought of the strange situation of the members of the Chen family whom he had accidentally met, if he thought about it carefully, Ji Zhen could come up with a deduction.

Some of those small bones may be Chen Shouxu's heirs.At Chen Shouxu's age, there are many concubines in the mansion, but there is not a single child. Ji Zhen thought it was strange at first, but now it makes sense.

If Chen Shouxu hadn't shown his true form, even Jiang Yi and the others would have been unable to catch it.How many people are there in this city who look human on the outside but become demons on the inside?Thinking about it this way, the border town is like a calm lake, and only after diving in does it realize that the lake is bottomless and the darkness swallows everything.

As the evening approached, cumulus clouds rolled up in the sky, and layers of cumulus clouds moved towards the center, covering the sky and gathering the thick darkness of the night.The wind blows the damp cold air, making it look bleak and lonely.

There are still voices between the courtyard walls, but outside the courtyard walls, there are only white lanterns stretching all the way, shaking gently with the wind.

Jiang Yi walked among them in silence, making his whole body look cold and lonely.

The bones found in the Chen family's mansion far exceeded everyone's expectations. In the courtyard where the family members of the Chen family lived, there were still four women with different bellies, all of whom were in different stages of pregnancy.Jiang Yi originally thought that the other party would feel lucky to free them from such a predicament.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news of Chen Shouxu's death, several people were heartbroken and looked at them with hatred.They were satisfied with the splendor and wealth given by Chen Shouxu, and they didn't even care much about where their newborn child would be taken and what would happen to them.

It wasn't just these few concubines, there were also many ordinary people in the Chen residence who hadn't become demons, and they all showed a sense of sadness for Chen Shouxu's death.

They are both prey, and when gaining profit by slaughtering others, as long as the butcher's knife has not fallen on their own heads, they will take the initiative to classify themselves into the butcher's camp and dance accordingly.When the sinister human heart is too naked, the world will appear ugly and stupid.

Jiang Yi was curious again, did those concubines really care so little about their children's whereabouts or life and death?Regarding his own mother, he had a deep heart, and he hardly knew what kind of answer he wanted to get more, so he hesitated to ask the question.

The white lanterns stretched all the way to the front of the side courtyard and disappeared, and the voices of people also gradually disappeared here.Compared with other places in the Chen Mansion, this place should look a little lonely, but when Jiang Yi opened the door and entered, he saw the lights in the courtyard and the porch flickering brightly, there were servants and servants who came and went lightly, and some An interior room lit up everywhere.

He couldn't help looking at Ji Zhen's room.

The light there was extraordinarily bright, reflecting a figure sitting on a soft couch, sitting peacefully in a haze.

"I don't want to eat this." Ji Zhen's voice came out vaguely.

The door behind him was then closed by the guards, holding back the vitality of the yard, and the ordinary floating island between the sky and the earth lit a ball of warm light by itself.

Jiang Yi's mood relaxed.Even though there are many embarrassing places in the world, there are always cute and tame corners.

Ji Zhen ate, washed up, and lay on the soft couch to read some miscellaneous books about the border town.

He didn't know much about it before, but only after reading the book did he know that the border town is the intersection of the demon world and the human world. In the past, there was no such thing as a barrier. Even the human race and the demon race had a lot of contacts, and they all kept the rules. This barrier was added later. above, is now commonplace.

If the book is true, Ji Zhen doesn't think there was any clear dividing line between humans and demons in the past, and the demons in many short stories in the book are particularly popular.

Ji Zhen found it interesting, turned down a page and was about to read it again, when Ruohua walked in with something.

Ji Zhen looked up and found that the thing in Ruohua's hand looked familiar. Looking carefully, he remembered that it was the wooden mask he bought outside.

"When packing up the carriage, I found that I dropped it in a corner and forgot to retrieve it," Ruohua said, "It's so unremarkable."

Ji Zhen put down the book and took the mask over.

It is indeed strange and inconspicuous. The color of this mask is very ordinary wood material, and it is afraid that it will be integrated with the wall of the carriage if it is placed in the corner of the carriage.

When I bought it, Ji Zhen felt warm in his hands. At this time, the room was probably warm enough, but he felt a little cold when he held it.

This mask is unremarkable, as if it took a random piece of wood and carved it with the skills of an apprentice.

Ji Zhen put it on the tea table casually, and got up by himself: "I'm going to sleep, you go down."

"Hey." Ruohua responded, and saw the silent nightmare in the corner of the coffee table, picking it up and putting it aside in a wooden box that could only hold it and was padded with cotton cloth , all as if it also has a safe place to sleep.

Nightmare got a big boost today, slept soundly, and didn't know what night it was.

Ji Zhen sat on the bed by himself, and was about to lie down, when he caught a glimpse of the mask alone on the coffee table, after thinking about it, he got up and prepared to put it away.

Thousand Lantern Festival, he recited these three words silently in his heart, thinking that he didn't know what kind of festival it was, and there was also the rule of wearing ghost masks.

I don't know if he will look out of place wearing such a wooden mask, after all, this mask has no deterrent effect at all.

Ji Zhen saw the mirror next to him, walked over on a whim, and put the mask on his face.The wooden mask covered Ji Zhen's entire face, only his mouth and eyes were exposed.

Ji Zhen looked at himself in the mirror and blinked. He tilted his head left and right, and the mask followed him.Ji Zhen felt bored again, so he took off the mask and put it next to the mirror, yawned, lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over and fell asleep.

An uneventful night.

early morning.

Ji Zhen woke up with a stretch, rubbed his eyes, got up and took a sip of tea.Outside the house, there was only occasional voices from the servant woman's light hands and feet. Ji Zhen looked at the sky and didn't know why he woke up so early today, but he guessed that even Ruohua didn't wake up at this moment.

Probably because I went to bed early last night, and I didn’t feel sleepy anyway. Although the room was warm, it was a little stuffy. Ji Zhen dressed himself and didn’t call anyone. He opened the door and stood on the porch to exercise his muscles.

After just a few movements, Ji Zhen heard the door of the next door open, and then Liang Leng's voice sounded, "It's rare to see you get up early."

Ji Zhen thought that it's none of your business if I get up early and late, and turned around to give Liang Leng a glance, but he didn't expect that when he turned his head and met Liang Leng's gaze, the other party's expression changed immediately, and a cold sword was drawn from Liang Leng's side, It reached the side of his neck in an instant.

Liang Leng looked like he was about to chop off his head.

Ji Zhen opened his eyes wide: "Are you crazy?"

As soon as the words came out, Ji Zhen suddenly found that his voice was a little strange, it didn't seem to be his original voice. Although it was still a man's voice, it was a bit too shrill and charming.

Simply neither male nor female.

Liang Leng's sword moved closer to his neck, "Who are you?"

Ji Zhen saw that he didn't seem to know him, so he felt even more weird, "What are you talking about, I am Ji Zhen."

From Liang Leng's sight, the person in front of him who called himself Ji Zhen was a completely different person.He has an ordinary appearance, a small nose and small eyes, and his voice is shrill and harsh, so he can't believe that this is Ji Zhen.

It's more like some monster pretending to be Ji Zhen.

"Where is Ji Zhen?" Liang Leng's sword stuck to the side of Ji Zhen's neck, making Ji Zhen almost feel a sting.

Ji Zhen was furious, and cursed angrily: "I said I am Ji Zhen, Liang Hanqian, if you point your sword at me again, I will turn my back on you."

When the guards saw Liang Leng drawing his sword, they had already surrounded him to take precautions. Hearing Ji Zhen speak to the prince, they thought that Liang Leng was going to kill him today.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Ji Zhen's fierce words, Liang Leng's expression showed hesitation, and the sword actually dropped a few inches.

"Are you really Ji Zhen?" Liang Leng was indeed shaken.The main reason is that he couldn't think of how many people in this city besides Ji Zhen dared to talk to him like this. It was the first time he heard Ji Zhen say that he was showing off "the king's father's genealogy".

At this time, Ruohua in the room and Jiang Yi on the opposite side of the yard also came out after hearing the sound. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ji Zhen, which made Ji Zhen even more suspicious of life for a while. It's turned upside down.

Until Ji Zhen looked at himself in the mirror under the suspicious eyes of everyone, even he was taken aback now.

It was not his own face in the mirror at all, not only ordinary but also a bit ugly, but this face was growing on his head, as if he was born with it.

The sky is dead, and Ji Zhen is also dumbfounded.
